high clouds are going to be around all day tomorrow. the computer model. it's going to show clouds and temperatures. so as we get into the afternoon hours, it stays partly to mostly cloudy and you have temperatures, these are going to be upper 60s and 70s showing up. despite the cloud cover, it's going to be pretty warm. system number one of these two comes on in here thursday morning, late tomorrow night into thursday morning. .05 to maybe a quarter of an inch in the heaviest locations. in the hills, maybe an inch of rain. sunday system comes in a little bit more juice. but .25 to .50, maybe an inch. main dynamics with these next two relatively weak systems will be far north of the bay area. the real dynamics around fort brag. so, tomorrow morning, you got 6:00 a.m., cloudy. you're fine. then you go into 7:00, the commute is dry, but this system starts to come in. this is the overnight one for

tomorrow night and there it is. that's overnight, 10:00 tomorrow night, 11:00 it rolls through and it's gone. so by thursday morning, there will be some wet on the roadways, but it's, you know, it's probably dry from the sky. and then thursday at 6:00, there you go. and then we move forward to the forecast highs for tomorrow and you're looking at despite the cloud cover, pretty warm. 66 in concorde and 60 in pacifica. cloudy, but mild. and the rain will develop late tomorrow night into early thursday morning, which could have an impact on the thursday morning commute. here's that second shot of rain i showed you earlier. that shows up here saturday morning and they are just, i hate to say weak, but they are weak at this point. the sunday one, too, but it looks like there's more down the line. the flow is moist, there's clouds moving in. it's not a blocking dry pattern. so there's a chance for showers as we go into the next week or so. the next two look relatively mild. >> they'll take a chance, thanks, bill.
